It is really really hard to imagine any gps device doing that.
Yes, I agree, and yet what just popped up in my mail box but a
reference
to:
"an inexplicable 1 second slip of 3 GPS based NTP time sources".
I have, of course, asked for more details!
A one second slip I could understand-- eg Gamin 18x reporting over 1
second after the associated second would lead to that. But a computer
advancing at an hour per tick is way beyond that.
Perhaps the 1 second slip tickled a bug in ntp with the LOCL clock--
where the system then saw the GPS as a false ticker, went to LOCAL with
a bad rate, and compounded the rate error by some sort of runaway
process.
You are confusing two events here. Ron had a problem with the PC running
fast. This was a separate incident where there was a 1 second slippage.
When and if I get more details I will post them here. There is no
suggestion that the two are related.
Cheers,
David
